PSD to PDF converter

.psd

Adobe Photoshop

PSD – is an image file format created by Adobe for Graphic Designers to create layered images. With this format, a wide range of data from "Photoshop" is available, including texts, graphic layers, or notes. The extension can support multiple shades of gray, monochrome images, as well as CMYK and RGB color models. Such files can be converted to various formats (JEPG, PNG, and others) for subsequent transfer or storage. After changing the format, all the layers are transformed into one, which does not happen when saving with the PSD extension. In this case, they are available for viewing and editing, making them especially useful for working with drafts of various documents. The format is irreplaceable when saving the intermediate results. It is supported by most versions of Photoshop, as well as other Adobe programs.

The PSD extension is characterized by the ability to support various visualization options, including a mask, spot colors, two-color settings, clipping. There are files with the .psb extension in some cases, which support a resolution limit of 30 thousand pixels in width and height. PSD files use the RLE compression algorithm, which allows compressing with minimal loss. However, they are still large, so it is better to use archivers for storing them on disk.

PDF – is a cross-platform extension necessary for the visualization of printed materials in electronic form. It is developed by Adobe Systems using separate PostScript resources. PDF documents can exist separately from the OS or hardware tools with which they were developed. Files of this format do not have restrictions on the length, several types, and image options, as they allow you to embed various multimedia tools, scan-line, and vector images. They are supported by Adobe Reader and many browsers, providing the plugin is installed.

PDF supports color models CMYK, RGB, shades of gray, and also it has its technical formats for performing the exchange of finished documents. Any file contains a description of a 2D or 3D document with all the necessary components (scan-line, vector graphics, text, and more).
